Demisexuality

A community for those who identify as being demisexual!

This community was made out of a desire to bring together those on the fediverse who identify as demisexual, and build opportunities in connecting with others who are so that they feel validated and heard.

For those unaware, demisexuality is a sexuality on the Asexual spectrum, where one's sexual attraction to someone is established only after an emotional bond is formed.

Feel free to post memes, questions, resources, or anything relating to demisexuality here in this community!

All are welcome to participate so long as they follow the rules.

Rules:

  1. PieFed.ca instance rules are to be followed at all times. Currently these rules are the same as those on Lemmy.ca.

  2. All posts in the community must be in relation to demisexuality. Demiromantics are welcome, though this community is purely focused on demisexuality.

  3. While likely already covered by rule 1, no aphobia. Any posts or comments shaming someones sexual or romantic attraction, or lack of, will be removed with the offenders banned.

  4. While not required, it is generally good practice to provide Alt-text for image posts for those with visibility impairments.

  5. This is currently an English-only community. This is simply for ease of moderation. As this community is hosted on a Canadian instance, posts in French are planned to be allowed in the future.

  6. Please use the NSFW tag for more "adult" posts. Adult posts that are not tagged as NSFW will be removed. Posts with pornographic content are not allowed and will be removed regardless of tagging.

This list of rules is non-exhaustive, and will be built upon with time.

Resources:

More resources will be added here as time goes on. There are communities on Reddit about demisexuality that are relatively easy to find, though they will not be directly linked here to help foster and build a federated alternative to the platform.

Hi all!

Sorry for the long gap, it's been an interesting last few months for me, but I hope to up my activity on PieFed again.

However, I'm hoping to find a new moderator for this community. While I'd be happy to stick around and ensure nothing is posted that breaks the rules, I'm hoping to transfer administrator privileges to someone else as I've since evolved in my identity a little, and found that I lie elsewhere on the aro-ace spectrum.

While I no longer identify as demisexual, I would like for the person who takes the reigns from here to be someone who does, and is a regularly active user of either Lemmy or PieFed. That way the community remains decently active, is moderated fairly, and has the opportunity to thrive rather than being left behind like other attempts to make a community for demisexuals.

I will also like to ask that whoever takes over has a staunch stance against AI-generated content.

Thanks! I'll make a fair attempt to keep the community active myself in the meantime.

I'd be happy to step up if no one else is interested!

Sounds good! I'll wait until Friday to see if anybody else showcases interest as well and then go forward from there!

Huh...I don't seem to be able to react with an emoji for some reason. Putting it here as a comment:
